Mallory was thrilled for her hot bake date with Justin. She spent all day buying baked goods. She wanted to pick the ones that she looked cutest next to. Finally, she showed up at where they would be holding the bake sale.

But.

But.

Justin was nowhere to be found.

Mallory instantly panicked.

"JUSTIN" she screeched into the abyss of lovelessness she was facing as Justin was missing. 

Someone tapped her shoulder. It was Justin! She was sooooooo relieved he was okay (and not some scary squirrel). 

"Oh, Justin," she cried as she collapsed into his muscly arms. "I was afraid you were gone forever." 

"Never fear, my sweet," Justin said. "I will never leave you. Never until a couple hours from now. I have to go on tour." 

"You-what?" Mallory asked, shock making her eyes bug like four inches out of her face. 

"I'm sorry, my darling honeycomb. I must leave you soon. But you will always be in my heart." Justin laid his hands on her nose in a really sexy way.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO," screamed Mallory, with the force of a thousand winds that were all going in like a million directions. If only those winds would force Justin to stay with her. Forever.

The shock of this fact made Mallory collapse on the ground, a pie falling on her face. Justin kissed her motionless head, as it was covered in whipped cream, and Justin really liked whipped cream.

------------------------------

Mallory woke, still laying on the ground, to the sound of a helicopter whirring. She knew it was Justin leaving. More like hell-icopter, thought Mallory bitterly. Then she remembered how much Justin meant to her. He was the air in her heart and the blood in her lungs. 

"JUSTIN" she screamed, sounding just like Aphrodite, the goddess of love. She ran towards the sound of the helicopter. 

She stood underneath where the helicopter was lifting into the air.

"My beloved!" She screamed, reaching her arm out into the air. If only she were made of elastic, she would wrap herself around the helicopter and never let go, embracing Justin forever.

Then, just as a flower dies, Justin disappeared from her life.

------------------------------

Mallory remembers this all bitterly. She lays on her bed, remembering her love that was. The rain falling on the roof was less water than she cried when Justin left her.

Even now, she feels like she smells his cologne- fresh baked cookies and roses from the garden of Eden. The roses of forbidden love...
